Browns 2010 Football Schedule Features First Ever Home Night Game

May 18, 2010

Providence, Rhode Island - Built in 1925, Brown Stadium has seen
its share of historic events over the last 85 years, but never
before has a game been played at night. Brown's 2010 schedule
features the first night game at Brown Stadium on Saturday,
September 25, when Brown and Harvard clash for the 110th
time on the gridiron.

With the help of the Brown Football Association, Brown will
install temporary lighting for the Saturday evening Homecoming
match-up against the Crimson, with game time slated for 6:00
p.m. Four banks of Musco lights will illuminate Brown
Stadium, with two banks of temporary lights towering above the
stadium on either side of the field.

“Our team is really excited about playing Harvard at night
and making history,” said Brown head football coach Phil
Estes. “When it was announced to our players a rousing
cheer went up. We're going to have a great crowd, it's exciting and
there's something special about a night game. We've excited to give
our players and fans an opportunity to experience this historic
event.”

Estes' team opens its 133rd season of intercollegiate
football at home one week earlier, battling Stony Brook on
Saturday, September 18, at 12:30 p.m.

The Bears will also play home games on October 23 in a Family
Weekend match-up with Cornell (12:30 p.m.), November 6 against Yale
(12:30 p.m.), and will conclude its 2010 season at home
against Columbia on November 20 (12:30 p.m.).

Brown will also play five games on the road, with its first away
game on October 2 against Rhode Island in Kingston, RI, in the
94th meeting for the Governor's Cup, as the Bears look
to defend last year's Governor's Cup title.

The final non-league game for the Bears will be played on
October 9 vs. Holy Cross in Worcester, MA. Ivy League away
games are against Princeton in New Jersey on October 16, against
Penn in Philadelphia, PA, on October 30, and vs. Dartmouth in
Hanover, NH on November 13.
